Overview:

Evaluation:

• 4 parts reviews,
• 3 parts examination,
• 6 parts homework/programming tasks, and
• a dash (up to 1 part) other considerations

Class Policies:

The Code of Responsibility prohibits "unauthorized review, transfer, or alteration of information on the computer." Plagiarism is an Honor Code violation.

Homework will be assigned and monitored regularly. Collaboration on homework is encouraged. However, you are responsible for work which bears your name; that is, it is presumed that you understand and can defend any work which you submit.

Collaboration on programming tasks may be more restricted. In any case, though specific attribution of work on the various components of the assignment is expected.

If you have any questions regarding ground rules for individual events, do not hesitate to ask for clarification.

Come to every class meeting and come on time. Missing class deprives both you of a first-hand class experience and your classmates of your particular perspectives. I monitor attendance; missing 20% of class meetings can trigger action to encourage more faithful attendance. In any event, you are responsible for all material discussed in class, whether you are present or absent.
